Ingredients

  • 1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) freshly cracked pepper
  • 3 lb (1.5 kg) chicken wingettes and drummettes
  • 12 slices bacon, cut in half crosswise

  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) ketchup
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) bourbon
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 mL) soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon (5 mL) Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) red pepper flakes

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 425°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with sides with heavy-duty foil; spray with cooking spray.
  • 2
    Sprinkle pepper over chicken. Wrap each chicken piece with a half slice of bacon.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Purchase already cut chicken wings in the meat or frozen foods section. They're sometimes called chicken drummies or wingettes and drummettes. You can use just the drummettes if you prefer.
